Ros-Lehtinen: Don’t be fooled: Cuba may now be led by a different Castro brother, but it is playing the same game.

The ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee opines in The New Republic against allowing Cuba back into the embrace of the Organization of American States.

"If Cuba is allowed to participate in the inter-American system without first returning to a freely elected, fully participatory, democratic form of government, no U.S. contributions — not a single cent of taxpayer funds — should go to the OAS," she writes.

TheWashington Post's editorial page sided with Ros-Lehtinen over the weekend, writing that Cuba "doesn't come close to meeting the requirements of the OAS's democratic charter -- in fact, its totalitarian domestic regime has remained essentially unaltered during the last 47 years."
